It's hidden to the point of almost being undocumented, but it's possible 
to make a configuration file for vlc in which aliases can be stored.  
That file would normally live in ~/.config/vlc/vlc.conf If I remember 
properly.  I'll mess with it a little later this week and see if I can 
figure all of it out.  The graphical user interface set has full and 
ready access to configuration file creation and management and the 
command line users are the odd ones out so far sa the vlc project is 
concerned.
